A man, estimated to be 40 years old, was driving near Richmond Parkway in a Jeep sport utility vehicle when someone in another car “drove alongside and fired several rounds into the Jeep,” the CHP said in a statement.

The Jeep drifted across the freeway, went down a steep embankment and overturned, ejecting the driver. First responders pronounced the man dead at 1:43 a.m.

The CHP is continuing to investigate but believes the incident was a targeted shooting. No arrests have been made, and officers do not have any information on a suspect or suspect vehicle, according to the CHP.

Those with information on the shooting can call (707) 551-4100.
